A nurse is planning to teach a client who has hypertension about lifestyle modifications to lower their blood pressure. Which of the following topics should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.)

A) Correct. The nurse should include reducing sodium intake to less than 2 g per day in the teaching. Sodium can increase fluid retention and blood volume, which can raise blood pressure.

B) Correct. The nurse should include increasing physical activity to at least 30 minutes per day in the teaching. Physical activity can lower blood pressure by strengthening the heart, improving blood circulation, and reducing body weight.

C) Correct. Limiting alcohol consumption to no more than two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women. Excessive alcohol consumption can raise blood pressure, so moderation is important.

D) Correct. Quitting smoking and avoiding exposure to secondhand smoke. Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke are significant risk factors for hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases.

E) Incorrect. Taking a nap for 20 minutes every afternoon. While rest and relaxation are important for overall well-being, taking a nap specifically for 20 minutes every afternoon may not be directly related to lowering blood pressure. It's better to focus on the other lifestyle modifications mentioned above.

A) Correct. The client should use an electric razor when shaving to reduce the risk of bleeding from minor cuts or nicks. Warfarin is an anticoagulant that inhibits blood clotting and increases the bleeding time.

B) Incorrect. The client should not eat more green leafy vegetables to prevent bleeding. Green leafy vegetables are high in vitamin K, which antagonizes the effect of warfarin and reduces its anticoagulant activity.

C) Incorrect. The client should not take an extra dose if they miss one. Taking an extra dose can cause excessive anticoagulation and increase the risk of bleeding or hemorrhage.

D) Incorrect. The client should not check their blood pressure every day unless instructed by their health care provider. Checking blood pressure every day is not related to warfarin therapy and may cause unnecessary anxiety or confusion.
